Create Your State!

Unlock the stories that have shaped the past by exploring a giant LEGO re-creation of Colorado history. The pro builders from the Colorado and Wyoming LEGO Users Group have created this sprawling concoction of Colorado scenes - both factful and fanciful.

And, they've left room for you to build too! While you're here, grab some bricks, construct your own take on Colorado's most iconic structures, and discover your inner builder.

Free with admission to the History Colorado Center.

Members can get a preview on May 25!
